Revealing mistake: When the Lady Gardener shuts her door on Cyclops, his right arm stays inside her house in front of the door frame. (00:14:35)
Secrets, Not Long Buried - S4-E15
Plot hole: At the speed Cyclops is traveling in his mini-jet when he passes Watchdog's tower, he would have been long out of range before Watchdog could force him out of the air into a crash landing, considering that Watchdog had to take time to alert Solarr of Cyclops' presence and be ordered to knock him out of the air.

Revealing mistake: Instead of staying in place, the energy surging around Watchdog's head moves down the screen as the camera pans down. (00:02:35)
Secrets, Not Long Buried - S4-E15
Continuity mistake: During the battle at the end, Cyclops uses the crystal statue he brought with him in the fight by throwing it into the air and uses it to refocus his optic blasts on a crowd of attackers. After the battle is over he gives the statue to Dr. Prescott without ever having retrieved it. (00:18:55 - 00:20:20)

Other mistake: When the group of mutants are listening to Solarr's speech, in one continuous shot of ten of them that lasts at least four seconds, they are all standing completely still, not one of them moving a muscle, blinking or making the slightest adjustment in their facial expressions.

Other mistake: At one point after Cyclops ejects from his mini-jet, you can see that he is just floating in midair instead of descending back to the ground. (00:03:15)
Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
